Hi everyone!
My name is Vanessa, mostly known by my friends as Xana, I was born on July 20th, 1990 and I'm from Portugal.
Among many, I'm mostly in love with music, draw and travels! This may sound cliché, but music do make my world keep going, day after day... Music is an outburst of the soul you know!? If you're happy you listen some kind of music, if you're sad you listen something different... Music (specially singing - yeah, I really do love to sing and, not flattering much, but I think I kind of nailed it) free me in so many ways...I really just can't explain but if you feel like I do, you know what I'm talking about. So, about the drawing part, it really calm me down. I can be hours around the same paper sheet without even noticed. It's a nice hobby that I would love to turn in something more in a near future. Feel free to check some of my work on my DeviantArt or Instagram account.
Now, I little about my life: In general, things are not going so well and I'm a little lost, still trying to know who I am and my purpose in life, and more than ever I have been consumed with one of my greatest passions: TRAVEL! Not being attached to a single place, a single mailbox, at least a physical one. Be apart of a live experience around the world, sharing and learning from such diversified people from the most singular places... Know places such as the Coliseum of Rome, Times Square, the Eiffel Tower, London (in general), The Great Wall of China, Istanbul, The Grand Canyon...and not only by a postcard. Knowing, be there, feel it, live it. That's what I want!
I wasn't born just to pay bills and die you know, I wasn't born to have a full time job from 9 to 5, 24/7, acquire an expensive car and house, get marry and have kids...I want more than that! It might be the "American dream" pre-established by society, but not for me. People are not all alike and I think we have to stand up for what we want instead of quit, thinking "I can't do it", being one more between millions. We need to do what we want and what our hearts tell us to, no fears, no regrets! Live now and enjoy every moment, 'cause that's what you're going to take from this life.
Feel free to comment and give me your feedback please! Any doubts, suggestions or requests, just post them here as well or send them to me through the section "Contact Me".
And that's it. My journey begins now!
Stay tuned.
